If you’re a real estate agent or home services pro like an interior painter or landscaper, you’ve probably heard the phrase “stay top-of-mind.” That’s exactly what a farming plan helps you do.

Real estate farming means consistently marketing to the same neighborhood or group of people so they recognize your name, trust your brand, and think of you first when they need help. There’s still no better way to do that than with a simple mix of postcards and newsletters.

Why Newsletters + Postcards Work So Well

Postcards are physical and hard to ignore. Newsletters are digital and give you space to share updates, tips, and local insights. When you use both, you’re showing up in the mailbox and the inbox—without having to do daily social posts or complicated ads.
